Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces frozen corn (can be replaced with 1 can or 4 ears of fresh corn)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, cubed (½ a stick)
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon cane sugar or granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all of the ingredients into the Instant Pot insert and mix everything together to combine evenly.
  2. Pressure Cook: Set the Instant Pot to Manual Mode or Pressure Cook on High Pressure for 10 minutes to cook the corn mixture.
  3. Release Pressure: Once cooking is complete, carefully perform a Quick Release to manually release the pressure. The mixture will look similar to how it looked before cooking.
  4. Incorporate Cream Cheese: Stir vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated, creating a rich and creamy texture.
  5. Thicken and Serve: Let the creamed corn sit for a few minutes to thicken. Serve warm immediately for best taste.
  6. Store Leftovers: Refrigerate any leftover creamed corn for up to 7 days. Reheat on the stove, microwave, crockpot, or Instant Pot on Keep Warm mode.

Notes

  • This recipe yields about two cups of cooked creamed corn, serving 4 to 5 people as a side dish. Double the recipe for larger groups.
  • Leftover creamed corn can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Reheat leftover creamed corn gently on the stove or in the microwave, or use a crockpot or Instant Pot on Keep Warm mode to maintain creaminess.
  • Using fresh corn instead of frozen will offer a slightly different texture and fresh sweetness.
